England have predictably tonked San Marino's team of butchers, bakers and agricultural lighting stockists to keep their attempts to qualify for next year's World Cup (what a lovely phrase that is to type!) on the road.

Here, the Mirror's John Cross rates the performance man for man. Even Joe Hart!

Joe Hart His biggest test was controlling a Kyle Walker back-pass after the ball hit a divot. Must have felt lonely... until he gave the fans a wave. Rating: 6

Kyle Walker Had very little to do defensively but had a nice, tidy game without being spectacular. Formed a nice double act with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain down the right. Set up Jermain Defoe's second goal. Rating: 6

Chris Smalling The Manchester United centre-half looked good - even if he had very little defending to do. It was noticeable that the 23-year-old was comfortable ordering his team-mates about. Rating: 7

Joleon Lescott His distribution was good and rarely tested defensively. No matter what is going on at Manchester City, England can rely on the centre-half. Wore the captain's armband after Frank Lampard was subbed. Rating: 6

Leighton Baines An important outlet down the left. His pace, runs and crossing caused San Marino all sorts of problems. Going forward, he may be England’s best left-back. Rating: 8

Frank Lampard Chelsea veteran overtook David Platt in the scoring charts to reach 28 goals for England. Still has so much to offer. It would be a big gamble to move to an MLS retirement home in the summer. Rating: 7

Tom Cleverley Kept the ball moving in midfield. Was always busy and looking for a pass. Rarely spectacular but always reliable and consistent. Rating: 7

Ashley Young His pace and movement caused San Marino problems down the left. Scored with a brilliant long-range effort. Showed he can still do a good job for England. Rating: 7

Wayne Rooney Great movement and some lovely build-up play to lay on chances and goals for his team-mates. Also scored with a lovely, curling free-kick. Terrific. Rating: 8

Jermain Defoe Scored for the first time since Boxing Day with a typical poacher’s finish. A match against San Marino is a dream for any striker in need of a goal. Rating: 8
